XL Bitter - Kegged

The XL Bitter that I brewed on 12 March has been sat at a steady 1.008 for 3 days now so at 4.2% abv it's found it's home in 3 cornies.

I had a cheeky taster - I think it could be a nice beer, I got the complex malt taste that I was after and it's not too over powering, the bitterness level seems about what I wanted too (27IBU), certainly less bitter than some of the beers I normally brew. My only concern is that after the initial complex malt taste there wasn't much left, no lingering flavour to speak of....?

It's nice to have a sensible strength malty low IBU beer brewed anyway - looking forward to tapping this one.

Time to think about the next brew - It was to be Wezerection I think.
